Building time

Lat week we were assigned to build a tower that could hold a golf ball out of sticks. There were seven people in my group, everybody was wondering what would be the most effective way. After talking various ideas, we decided that our strategy would be team work. There were some people in charge of the top of the tower (specialization), others were in charge of the middle part, and the others were in charge of the base. One thing about our group is that we did not only want the tallest tower, but also the most stable one. We were considering ideas that would not only make it go high, but also that would make it last. Everybody was giving ideas, and so we started testing. One thing about our strategy is that we took in consideration everyone's ideas and did not ignore them. Once we notices certain structure worked, we each chose different parts of the tower we wanted to specialize in building, so in that way we could do it faster. At the end we came in second place on which was the tallest, but our tower was the one that definitely lasted longer. In the same way it has to be with a company;s strategy, it is not only about growing fast, or a lot, it is about being there for your customers always, and with a good product. In our case having a lot of people bringing different ideas was good, because we knew how to team work, but if you cannot, it is better to just keep the employees that have the most knowledge.
